Delta Rae, a partial family band from North Carolina that is bound for the 2013 Voodoo Fest, clearly takes inspiration from the likes of Fleetwood Mac and Crosby, Stills & Nash. Acoustic guitars and four-part harmonies factor prominently in the mix; Mac guitarist Lindsey Buckingham even guests on "If I Loved You," a home run of a single.

But singer Brittany Hölljes, her brothers Ian and Eric, and their non-related bandmates -- including fellow vocalist Elizabeth Hopkins, who tears up the point-blank, gospel-tinged kiss-off "If I Loved You" -- also put their own twist on country/soul/folk-pop-rock hybridization. As evidenced by “Fire” and, especially, "If I Loved You," both from their 2012 Sire Records debut “Carry the Fire,” they also have chops and passion to burn.

The band has been deemed buzzworthy by People That Know, and has made the late-night TV rounds. Rolling Stone picked Delta Rae as one of the not-miss bands at the 2012 Voodoo Fest; the band subsequently earned a stellar review from my colleague Alison Fensterstock. Not surprisingly, Delta Rae was invited to make a return visit to Voodoo in 2013.

Delta Rae performs at the 2013 Voodoo Fest on Saturday, Nov. 2 at 2:45 p.m. on the Ritual Stage.
